About Me

I'm a wife, a mother, and a full time illustrator. I have a son who is 8, and a daughter 5. Drawing & Digital painting is my life, but wish drawing digis was my full time job b/c I get so much satisfaction from it! For now it is a hobby that is mainly for my babies, and my escape from the strict guideline of the lisenced properties I work on in everyday life! I LOVE my day job too. I create small MMO games for major featured films, anything ranging from Dreamworks Madagascar, Ice Age, Tin Tin, or Puss In Boots to projects as small as My Little Pony, Barbie, and Hello Kitty to name a small few. I enjoy painting traditionally and digitally, and there are days where I wish I had four arms so I can do everything! Family comes first for me - life is just too short, so I try to find a happy balance between crafts and my full time career.

We're home safe and sound after a few weeks away from the crafting
world.Have you ever made a card in your
car before?It was a first for me -
LOL!Ok, I coloured the digi stamp at
home but did a lot of careful gluing on the trip up North in the car and
finished off once we got to our destination.It's hard to post when you're out visiting!We had a wonderful birthday party out of
town for my daughter and nephew who celebrated their first birthday
together.I've been itching to share
these party pictures for the past week and now that I am home, I am able to do so.It was so nice to see everyone and for Serina
to visit with her aunts, uncles and cousins who she hasn't seen in a long
time!She was such a good girl, but
played "shy" with her Nana and Papa.I guess that means we'll have to have more visits!

SMASH CAKE

We also took another trip to see my side of the family for
the following week to celebrate Serina's 1st birthday.Lucky girl gets two birthdays and two cakes!Spoiled much?She had a great time visiting everyone, goingswimming, and watching her cousin's soccer
finals.I'm sad to be home knowing that
school is starting for my son soon and Serina will be off to daycare while I
gear up to go back to work! Heartbreaking
to let them go, but, like the rest of the world, we need to hold the fort.*sob*

Over these next few weeks, my digital stamp production will
decline.I want to enjoy these remaining
weeks with my family and soak up the last of the summer before returning to my
day job.Once everything settles, I will
try to get back on track.We shall see
how it goes, I will try to draw in my sleep if I can, but no guarantees - LOL! Happy Crafting everyone - but do try to get outside to play before the summer is gone! With the way this summer has been going, I'm predicting the coldest winter ever...yup, I said the "W" word in August - eeek!

To my dearest Serina,

This digital stamp is dedicated to you sweet baby girl. It is a true blessing to have you in our lives and you bring us so much joy and laughter. You complete our family and we just cannot imagine life without you. Love you to the moon and back, always and forever. xoxo

This digital stamp is called "Baby Serina". I coloured up this handmade card using Promarkers for her Skin, Hair, and black tones. Then I used Copics for her pink dress.
